it is so funny that raskolnikov’s whole family believes the dunya/luzhin engagement drama is the A-plot of their drama in petersburg while raskolnikov is like going around the city in a complete delirium telling everyone about how he killed two people. and the thing is raskolnikov ALSO thinks his sister is the main character

hey sorry your boyfriend said that russian classics are about that life is bleak. yeah he meant dostoyevsky and tolstoy. no, he didn't look beyond any of the lowest lows of the stories. he didn't even see the overarching themes of beauty and hope and connection. frankly we have all been laughing about him and we're gonna beat him up now. sorry
